Checking for poetry v2

[planetf1]

I'm new to poetry, and created a pyproject.toml suitable for poetry v2.

I included:

 [tool.poetry]
 requires-poetry = ">=2.0"

as mentioned in the v2 docs.

I also have author, description etc within the [project] section

However when run with v1, this fails - and indeed other elements in the config cause problems too:

$ poetry shell

The Poetry configuration is invalid:
 - The fields ['authors', 'description', 'name', 'version'] are required in package mode.
 - Additional properties are not allowed ('requires-poetry' was unexpected)

Ideally I'd like anyone using the project with an earlier version of poetry to get an error saying 'poetry version >2 is required' or similar

Any best practice/tricks to achieve this other than

• docs
• reverting to poetry v1

Unfortunately the requires-poetry option was only added to Poetry at 2.0.0. This means that earlier versions of Poetry will not recognize this.

At the moment we are not considering a backport of this feature.
